For many homeschooling families the idea of running a home business is an appealing idea to give them the necessary income and flexibility of time. There are many other advantages as well:

Increased income

Children see by example important factors in running a business

Real life hands-on experiences when children are encouraged to get involved with the business

Opportunity to give your children the financial education that isn't taught in public schools

Helps develop financial independence instead of a dependence on a “boss” or job

Freedom to travel taking your business with you, schooling on location, and capitalizing on the learning opportunities of the area

Having a home business certainly has provided the flexibility and income that our family needed to home educate our children. It is not always easy balancing a business while home educating, but the rewards and time freedom are definitely worth it.
